Perhaps i'm completely wrong here - but does it not strike any of you as a little entertaining that a 16yr old is suing a hospital for a mistake that is initially hers????

I mean surely if she'd used a condom to start with or been on the pill perhaps she wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place which warranted the hospital to carry out an abortion.

Also with scanning techniques in early stages still being a little bit questionable - it's hardly surprising that they missed a set of twins at early stages.  If she realised several weeks later that she'd still been pregnant she could have rebooked for a second abortion, which would have meant she did not need to raise the child that she so obviously doesn't want.

How do you as a mother explain to your child as they get older that you sued the hospital she was born at because they failed to "terminate her", without that child feeling totally dejected and unwanted?  If the mother doesn't tell her am sure as hell she'll find out from somewhere as she gets older these things always come out.

Next we'll be having 13-16yr olds suing schools for not providing sufficient sex education to stop them getting pregnant in the first place!

It's taken her 3 years to decide on this which begs the question of "american sue culture" for nothing but financial gain!

If i've offended anyone am sorry - i am not anti abortion i'm just anti abortion being used as a form of contraceptive!
